FREE →Youth Leadership Conference

Annually, Barron Electric Cooperative sponsors area high school students to the WECA (Wisconsin Electric Cooperative Association) Youth Leadership Conference (YLC) held at UW-Stout.

Through a mix of seminar sessions, hands-on activities, and team-building experiences, participants are exposed to a variety of real-life issues and are given the opportunity to identify and explore their leadership potential. The annual Youth Leadership Conference is a dynamic three-day event for high school students across Wisconsin to develop their leadership skills while learning about the purpose, operation, and scope of cooperative businesses. Students also have a chance to serve on the Youth Board, which plans and conducts the next Leadership Conference.

The Youth Leadership Conference for 2023 will be held July 11-13, 2023.
